2015-09-17 08:30 - 09:30 | The Senedd ‘Oriel’, National Assembly for Wales, The Senedd ‘Oriel’, National Assembly for Wales
Event sponsored by Jenny Rathbone AM
The Disabled People’s Manifesto calls upon the Welsh Government include:

Inclusion of an Independent Living (Wales) Bill in the Legislative Programme for the Fifth Assembly 2016-21

Welsh Government and the National Assembly for Wales to recognise and pay due regard to their responsibilities in fully implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People (UNCRPD) across government policy and legislation

A Commission of Inquiry involving disabled people and their organisations to consider options to strengthen the enforcement of disabled people’s rights, equality and independence in Wales, including devolving powers over equality legislation to Welsh Government

Eradication of disability poverty in Wales by 2030

A determination to tackle Disability Hate Crime must be shown by leaders.

On 5 May 2016, disabled people and their families and Carers across Wales will cast their votes in the National Assembly for Wales Elections.
Disabled people make up over 20% of the population in Wales, which has a higher proportion of disabled people than other nations and regions of the UK.
Disabled people across Wales tell us that lack of enforcement of rights together with the impact of UK Government welfare reforms and cuts in public services have led to a loss of independence, an increase in poverty and left many feeling isolated and fearful for the future.
The Manifesto calls to action developed by disabled people around Wales are aimed at tackling these challenges and creating an Enabling Wales where disabled people truly experience their rights and equality as citizens of a modern inclusive nation, contributing fully to its social and economic success.

An informal chat about health and well-being for anyone who fancies a free cup of tea or coffee!
Every day, we all make choices which affect our health and well-being. Many of us face challenges in trying to maintain a healthy weight, whether because we’re overweight, underweight or just trying to keep a healthy weight. In particular, being overweight or obese can impact hugely upon our health.
The good news is that there’s a lot we can all do to help each other; in our communities, organisations, schools, the NHS and councils, the voluntary sector, Welsh Government and the food and drinks industry.
We want to have a conversation with everyone about what we are all doing to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and how we can take action together. We’re keen to hear from individuals, groups, communities and organisations as to what we can all do and how we can each become involved. It could be activities in communities, schools or in the workplace; changes to services; different foods in our shops or in our schools; policy change by government or even reducing the speed limits on our roads to encourage walking and cycling.
Why don’t you drop in?

Welsh Tenants Annual Conference - Building Bridges
2015-09-23 - 2015-09-24 | Hotel Metropole, Llandrindod Wells, Hotel Metropole, Llandrindod Wells
The Welsh Government have embarked on a big programme of change to housing with two extremely ambitious and sector changing pieces of legislation, in the form of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 and Renting Homes (Wales) bill – soon to be enacted.
The Building Bridges conference is both a positive affirmation of the approach the government in Wales is taking on housing, and an exploration of what is still required to address the key concerns of people whom rent, with continued austerity, their perceptions of widening inequality and the future of housing supply and rents in Wales being key concerns of the tenants movement. The conference aims to debate these changes as well as the key challenges as we approach the Welsh Assembly elections in May 2016.
The conference also celebrates, supports and promotes the Chwarae Teg 50:50 campaign highlighting the key role women have played, and continue to play in Wales, with the event being the first all women speaker event in Wales.
